The top of a ladder $6$ metres long is resting against a vertical wall on a level pavement, when the ladder begins to slide outwards. At the moment when the foot of the ladder is $4$ metres from the wall, it is sliding away from the wall at the rate of 0.5m/ sec. How fast is the top-sliding downwards at this instance?
How far is the foot from the wall when it and the top are moving at the same rate?
